And take unto yourself a wife
A wife whose only thought will be
Your welfare and prosperity.
With this your object full in view
You have nothing left but 10 pursue.
The course that we will show you clear
Is to buy our goods and please the dear.I

In these hard times the goods must go.
There is nothing left for us TO do
But to cut our prices TO suit you.
So bring the little darling round,
And show to her that you have found
The only place in all your life
Where goods are sold to suit your wife.
Your funds are low, you need not fear,
As all the goods you want are here.
We fix the terms so very low
That you must buy before you 90.
Our motto in our line shall be
To treat you all with unity;
That all you buy from e. Il b.
We cheerfully will guarantee.
That il you let us fit you out
You'll show you know what you're about,
Because you'll save a big per cent,
Which will surelypay the first months rent
Now, all friends, we invite you here
TO call and see us this new year,
Where we will treat you to our best
We think il time TO take rest.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1887-04-23

Huntingdon Republican; While
Gibson, Weakley. Benton and some
other counties are in debt and their
warrants at discount Of Is to 80
per cent, Carroll county, with her
corps of republican officials aud good,
tax-payipg citizens, is ont Of debt and
has money in the treasury.
The above sounds very well but
unfortunately the writer overdOes the
matter. Gibson county warrants are
discounted only five to ten cents, and
oar democratic good tax. pay ing citi'
Eens" cheerfully pay II tax Of thirty
cents to educate all the children Of the
county, regardless Of color. The ere
publican officials and good tax paying
citizens" of Carroll, We believe, pay
a school tax Of only ten cents. AnC
yet you try to make igUOrant people
believe that the republican party il
the friend of education. You ough
